What's on in Halstock Leigh, Higher

Dorset, England

Halstock Leigh sits quietly in Dorset with a charm that defies its small size. Without a single venue to shout about, the local character speaks through the green lanes and friendly faces you meet on every walk home. It is a place where the best events are simply things that happen right next door. We keep an eye on what pops up in the area so you never have to hunt for ideas on a rainy afternoon. Sometimes it is a community gathering under the trees, other times just a neighbour having a barbecue that turns into a festival. Near Here makes sure you know what is going on without needing to ask anyone twice.

Gelli plate printing workshop with Creative Hug

Join me, Sharon, for a fun afternoon learning the art of gelli plate printing, on Sunday, 12th April, 1-4pm. In this workshop you’ll be using various leaves, grasses or flowers, along with magazines for transfer prints, as I guide you through the step-by-step process of creating beautiful unique prints using a gel plate and acrylic paints. With stunning views over Christchurch Harbour, you’ll be in pleasant surroundings, in a relaxed atmosphere and creating lots of beautiful prints to take home and frame or use in other projects. It’s highly addictive and I’ll give you lots of inspiration so you can experiment with different processes to create beautiful monotype prints. Creative Hug offers lots of creative courses in a friendly, relaxed atmosphere and craft kits are available to buy, so you can try another creative hobby at home or buy as a gift. • Beautiful river setting with balcony • Tea, coffee and biscuits provided • All materials included • Lots of colours to choose from
